Up date post exam

Sorry about the long gap in posting but things have been "busy and interesting", I got the results of my Hebrew exam which were around 50%, in a way I was quite pleased about that i thought it a tribute to my exam technique if nothing else. Sadly, however, this was below the pass mark so I had a bit of a problem. And it coursed me to really lose a lot of self-confidence, I had never previously failed any examination before.
I am now feeling a somewhat more sanguine I have booked on an Ulpan-Or course via skype, which will run before I go to Jerusalem, and then a two week intensive when i get there. All this happens before my HUC Ulpan program can start. It is not quite the gentle start to my stay in Israel that I would have chosen but I guess I wont have any time to feel scared. :)
I am more or less sorted out now, although I still have many things to get finalised before I can head off with a clear conscience. My A2 student visa has come, and the flat thing is all but sorted out too. When plus side of all this little problems is that I have become friends, and I would say good friends with my two flat mates to be Naomi, and Emily. In fact now that Emily has gone out to Jerusalem ahead of schedule its going to be sad not to be able to chat with her.

Things move on again

So things are really moving on at a pace. I have signed the lease on the flat in Jlem and sent off the signed contract by post as well as wiring the depost to my landlord. I also feel that I am getting to know my flatmates to be although only via Facebook and texts and emails. I still need to get my visa sorted although I have all the documentation that i require so it should be relatively straightforward to sort it out. (That said nothing else has been as easy as i had hopped it would be). As I write I still haven't heard from LBC about either the finanices or the results of my Hebrew exam. I am hopeful that all that will change this week.
